Shopping for Food

Of course I meant grocery. In Hanoi, there are a few places you can go to if you do not feel like plunging into their wet markets.
 
Citimart is a chain of grocery stores that offer the widest range of stuff. There is a small one at the ground level of Hanoi Towers, and there is a big one at the 3rd level of Vincom tower Shopping Mall. A hypermart type place is Big C, some 40-45 minutes away from Hoan Kiem district, in a place called My Dinh. Finally, you may go to Unimart, about 5 minutes from Parkson.
 
Foodstuff we always get:
 
  • Siopao (red beans, taro, etc)
  • Cuapao
  • Bread butter (Pain brand, argh!)
  • Ginger tea
  • G7 coffee - you should try this one!
  • Bavi fresh milk and yoghurt
  • Cereals
  • Frozen meat
  • Fish (tilapia fillet, salmon heads, etc.)
